We sew reusable sanitary pads and distribute them to schoolgirls in Kenya.

✨ Why We Do This

In many parts of Kenya, menstruation is still a taboo subject. For countless girls aged 10 to 15, getting their period means missing school, losing confidence, and falling behind—simply because they don't have access to sanitary products or support. Some even drop out entirely. It’s not just a health issue—it’s an education and opportunity issue.

We believe every girl deserves the chance to stay in school, feel confident, and build a future with dignity.

How We Make a Difference

At the Ahero Resource Center, a respected community-based organization near Lake Victoria, we offer free workshops for girls aged 10 to 15—and sometimes boys join too. These safe, inclusive spaces help young people:

Learn practical skills like sewing and soap-making that can lead to future financial independence.

Understand their health, through sessions on menstrual hygiene, body knowledge, and relationships.

Build digital literacy through computer classes that open doors to the modern world.

Explore the world beyond their community, thanks to international volunteers who take part in the program—offering cultural exchange, mentorship, and new perspectives.

One key part of the program is sewing reusable sanitary pads and distributing them to girls who need them. We also teach them how to make their own pads—helping them stay in school, build confidence, and gain self-reliance.

And we don’t stop there. We’re setting up a learning center at the same location to offer affordable tailoring courses for women. For schoolgirls, everything remains free.

What We Need

To keep this program going, we’re raising funds to cover:

Essential materials like scissors, fabric, and thread

Modest stipends for the women helping with the sewing

Resources to expand our workshops and reach more youth

Every contribution helps us create a world where girls don’t miss school because of their period, where they gain life skills, and where entire communities grow stronger through knowledge and opportunity.

Thank you for helping us sew a better future!
